I just got a 858c HD DI for the bow of my boat- I've gotten it connected to a 997c thru a Interlink to share waypoints. So far I love it.
If your looking for one with side imaging, you can probably pick up a used 997 for around 1000.If your wanting a new unit and can live with the DI only, I'd say the 858c is the way to go.
Check with Dave at Shut up and Fish. Hes on the TFF and he has his stuff priced way below most others.

love my hummers, if you can swing it, a 998 has a lot better resolution and is easier to see.
